How much would it cost to digitize all the UK’s archaeological grey literature?

I am a member of the Working Group on Open Archaeology. Recently in the discussion, Anthony Beck linked to a recent presentation of his called ‘Dig the new breed: how open approaches can empower archaeologists':

So only two hurdles remain: getting access to the grey literature, and the man-power to do this (hence the crowdsourcing). It would be interesting perhaps for a phd student to try this out at their local archaeological consultancy, and then perhaps use some data mining techniques (like in this example) to quickly begin to extract useful information.
